Gene expression of BMSC stimulated with different cytokines. miR-29b (white bars), COL1A1 (light grey bars), COL3A1 (dark grey bars) and COL2A1 (black bars) gene expression of BMSC kept in micromass pellets and stimulated with (a) IL-1β (1 ng/ml; n = 8), (b) IL-6 (5 ng/ml; n = 6), (c) IL-8 (10 ng/ml; n = 4) and (d) IFN-γ (50 ng/ml; n = 11) for 7 days compared to unstimulated controls (zero line). COL2A1 expression was only detected in 4 out of 11 cultures stimulated with 50 ng/ml IFN-γ. Results are expressed as box plots with median, the 25th and 75th percentiles and whiskers showing the largest and smallest values. * = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01; *** = p < 0.001; non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank test for paired analysis.
